Sweet Nothings ( Trifecta Week : Eighty-Five )

We spend our whole lives just living, the same manner, same people, and life just passes by, and then, sometimes everything just stops for a moment, you freeze and can almost count your breath, batting of your eyelashes.
And that’s how I had felt  the first time I saw him  , no words or customary glances were exchanged , and yet I could feel my heart beating against my chest .

I admit it was a strange experience ,having never really fancied a person of flesh and blood but only those tucked in corners of my sweet smelling books , I felt my world had somehow melted  , I almost hated him .
He slept with his mouth wide open , talked  too much , and never seemed to lack female company , it annoyed me to a great extent ,I willed myself not  to look at him or offer any sign of acquaintance .

But good things only last as long as they do, little by little my armor started breaking, I began to notice him more often. He did not help any further by appearing everywhere I went.Even his casual glance or query made me fly ,my toes would curl and it took every ounce of will not to show it .

I know for a fact that I am nothing that could live up to him , I am still an overgrown child who is clinging to her childish antiques cause she is quite afraid of future and he is a man .
Surprisingly I don't feel heartbroken either , I even feel grateful knowing that I am capable of such emotion ,  however I cannot bear being his friend .

As of now I am quite uncertain of my future, my passions , but I know one thing with conviction, I will never forget him, I will tuck him in my memory with care along with all the fictional men I have ever fancied and that is saying a lot in itself , wouldn't you say .

  5. ...with all the other fictional men. We do have a way of inventing others, whether on paper or not, don't we? I suppose lack of interaction assures they remain exactly who we wanted them to be. The title is perfect.

  6. It is uncommon for one to recognize they aren't ready for those feelings. I like the line about how she will tuck him away in her memory with the other fictional men.

  7. Lovely! I really like the end, where you lump him with the fictional men. Well done!

  8. A strong piece of a hopeless romantic ... and a little desperate. He doesn't seem to a great catch.
